Michael Fallon QUITS as defence secretary over 'knee-touching' claims

The Ministry of Defence has confirmed that Michael Fallon has resigned as defence secretary, after he said his past behaviour may have "fallen short".

"It can not be right, when dealing with serious issues relating to behaviour in Parliament, that vulnerable or concerned people are expected to navigate different grievance procedures according to political party", Ms May said.
